How is your church achieving its redemptive potential?

How can The Leadership Centre Willow Creek Canada help?


We surveyed over 1,500 church leaders, had dozens of one-on-one meetings and conducted roundtable discussions with hundreds of other leaders. We were able to get the pulse of what is happening in and through churches across Canada.

We heard stories of joy and celebration. We also heard stories of heartbreak and brokenness. The work of the local church can be hard, yet rich beyond compare.

As a result of YOUR heartfelt and constructive feedback, we are significantly changing our conference strategy.

The NOVA Experience is not just another conference. It is nothing less than a challenge. A challenge to embrace progress. A challenge to gather momentum. A challenge to make a Kingdom impact through the revelation, wisdom and resources God has entrusted to you. A challenge like no other.

This is a brand new day.



The NOVA Experience is a completely live event that empowers you to customize the event and align your ENTIRE leadership and volunteer team, toward your goal of creating maximum impact and lasting change long after the event itself. Regardless of a person's role in your church (leadership, children’s, group life, arts and worship, students, etc.), each person can find inspiration and engagement in one of the 75 breakout sessions.

The more people you envision, equip and encourage toward YOUR CHURCH’S UNIQUE MISSION, the greater the likelihood of it becoming a reality. Ownership of mission, vision and objectives by many creates momentum and if we want to make a difference in our fragmented culture, a united effort is the key.Click here to download a pdf of our brochure.

After 15 years of offering life-transforming events, The Leadership Centre Willow Creek Canada understands that, without preparation and a follow-up plan, conference experiences typically last only as long as the event itself. We are challenging you to get away from your daily routine and do some team-work before and after NOVA to get the most out of this experience.
